This is the way things will at least start for the first few months imo. Great job covering all of the Summer League 1king. It was fun and a great learning experience watching these kids and talking with you all this week. Thank you,

The last two times Bill Belichick and Jeff Fisher have met, Belichick's teams have outscored Fisher's 104-7...Jeffrey, Bill is your Achilles Heel.

I think that if they have not amnestied CV already that they are not going to do it at all until they are sure other teams will want to bid a decent amount for him. Or unless they need the roster spot.

Glad to see Daye doing well. They were obviously playing him a lot for a reason and he responded. Now, can he do that during the season?

Maybe they're waiting to amnesty CV this off-season and go after 1 if not 2 big free agents as Maggette saves 14M CV would save 7M (if amnestied) and if they chose to let Maxiell go that's an expiring contract worth 5M. Very exciting if you couple that with a potential lottery draft choice._________________

Maggette gets paid 10.9m this year and will be a very valuable trade chip this season if someone unexpected becomes available.

CV gets paid 8m this season and has a player option for 8.5m next year. If he gets amnestied the Pistons are still on the hook for his salary less whatever another team signs him for. It does free up the salary cap a bit though. We don't know if Gores is willing to eat over 12m or so the Pistons would be required to pay.

Not sure who they would go after in the 13-14 offseason. There are some good players that will be FAs but not sure how many of them fit what the Pistons will need at that time. Knight, Stuckey, Monroe, and Drummond are all starters for the foreseeable future imo. That would leave the small forward position open for a new starter and among SF FAs there is nobody that seems that great.

Now if they were going after a center or either guard position there would be some awesome players available. I think the smart play for the Pistons is to develop their young talent and if possible and reasonable, acquire a player via trade during the season.
